    Question This is Blue!

    I thought I'd share a pic of 'Blue'... So We thought she might be a Puget Sound... Then we thought she may be Anery Red Sided... So what is she?

    She is more blue than the picture suggests btw. Her hubby has more of a red and yellow side pattern with blue stripes (Defo not a Cali Red Sided). More or less a red sided/Puget for the male 'Red'



    Thanks

    Gary

    I would say concinnus - anerythristic perhaps?
    the head looks a little different, but it may just be the colour throwing me off

    Concinnus would be my bet.

    looks like a concinnus to me, I don't see pickeringii at all.. there are phases of oregon red spots that don't really have much color to them.... like a grayish, greenish tint, can you post pics of her "hubby"? it sounds like he may be a different species! Concinnus don't have yellow side stripes!
